But somewhere along the line you stopped believing that you were destined for greatness because you couldn't look past yourself, your own environment and circumstances . You started worshipping your conditions , they manifested and became bigger than you.
It's easy to start believing that you're not going to ever be great or be able to do what you love or make an impact...I get that. Our minds magnifies what we worship ,the worshipped object becomes a limiting factor in all your endeavours ,no wonder God warned Israelites not to worship any other gods ,graven images or any ideology .He wanted us free from mental slavery , and earthly standards for success.We are to break forth and set new standards ,the crooked path must be made straight.
I know it's easy to turn the TV on and see people who don't look like you, who don't have your problems or don't come from your background(environment )who seem to be successful and seem to have it so much easier than you. The TV on its own can make you feel smaller than you really are , be careful what you feed your mind on!!Most worldly marketed ideas of success are at par with the abundance and wealthy God promised us.
It's easy to just doubt yourself and to constantly find ways of putting yourself down and reminding yourself that you haven't got what it takes and that you don't have the money, time, education and resources that other people have .Maybe you have accepted the belief that you are not talented enough ,Moses felt the same.
But the truth is greatness exists within each and every one of us but you're too busy looking at what you aren't that you completely overlook all that you can be. You are letting your past to determine your future ,your present does not determine your future either you possess inside of you the transforming power of Jesus Christ these dry bones will live .You possess the resurrection power inside you , use it.
I'm asking you to stop comparing yourself to everyone else you see on TV, magazines and on social media and start looking at yourself as someone who has something unique and beautiful to share with the world. Start measuring your life with a different lanyard ,which is God's promises. Do you remember what was the difference between Caleb and the spies Moses send to Jericho.
Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.There we saw the giants ( the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
Numbers 13:31-33 NKJV
You were born to be great but that doesn't mean you're going to be a singer, actor, celebrity, doctor, lawyer,Soccer player or world famous. A new path is being created for you ,which only you can manage better .We are to profit from folly and not be partakers of folly .God is changing your destiny right this moment. You are not designed to be a cry baby but to be a conqueror , and a problem solver. Whether you are going to be a Caleb or the other spies in your story totally depends on you.
Greatness comes in so many different ways we are living in an era where there are so many opportunities but many are blinded by the dead gods they bow down to. Worship a dead god ,or earthly idols you are bound to be ruined. Be ye separate create own path and claim your Canaan.Israelites were given Canaan not because there were righteous or worth it they were given Canaan because of the iniquities of Canaanites and surrounding tribes.
“Do not say in your heart when the Lord your God has driven them away from you, ‘Because of my righteousness the Lord has brought me in to take possession of this land.’ Rather, it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is dispossessing them before you. It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to take possession of their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and in order to confirm the oath which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Deuteronomy 9:4-5 NASB2020
Canaan had been promised to Abraham already ,they were staying in the land so that means Israelites were going to take over a land which has been cleared .You will overtake all the giants in your life it's in you you were promised to be the head and not the tail get ready to overthrow Canaanites.
You have to be great at what you were born to do and that might not make you famous or financially wealthy but it still makes you great because you did something very few people ever get the change to do.....fulfil their life purpose and reach their potential.
Greatness lives within you! Within you is power immeasurable just tap into that power .You are a success and you have all the resources necessary to take over Canaan, Jehovah Jireh has already given Canaan to rise up take charge and conquer (destroy any limitations set for you and take over).
Now the only question is:
What were you born to do?, and Are you living your life following the path God chose for you or are you blindly worshipping idols?
Be who you are meant to be and your potential will start to unfold right in front of your own eyes!
I believe in you.
Now it's time for you to believe in YOU!
Shalom
